OSLO, Norway, May 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Net Asset Value ("NAV") of Aker ASA and holding companies ("Aker") was NOK 61.9 billion at the end of the first quarter 2025, compared to NOK 58.2 billion at the end of the fourth quarter 2024. Aker's Annual General Meeting has approved a dividend of NOK 26.50 per share to be paid in May 2025.
"While our Q1 results reflect a strong start to the year, the world has shifted significantly since the quarter closed. The emergence of a global trade conflict has introduced new uncertainty into the global economy, with implications that continue to evolve. In parallel, we have announced important portfolio actions designed to address specific challenges and enhance our long-term positioning. Against this backdrop, our quarterly performance may feel like a snapshot from a different time. However, it is precisely during times of volatility that Aker's strengths come to bear and enable us to continue to deliver value and capitalize on emerging opportunities," said Øyvind Eriksen, President and CEO of Aker ASA.
"Partnerships remain key. Collaborations with companies like SLB and other global players help us unlock new opportunities. These partnerships are built on trust in Aker's ability to combine industrial expertise with financial strength. By taking decisive action in Aker Horizons, as announced this morning, we are committing Aker's full resources to support existing collaborations and pursue future opportunities - reducing uncertainty and creating a stronger foundation for long-term value creation."
At the time of results publication, Aker also announced transactions with Aker Horizons and Aker Carbon Capture, respectively. Please see the company announcements for additional information on the transaction elements.
